THE IMPACT OF MUSICAL STIMULI ON LEARNING PROCESSES AND THE ENHANCEMENT OF LISTENING SKILLS IN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Abstract
This study explores the impact of musical stimuli on language learning, focusing on cognitive benefits such as memory retention, auditory perception, and phonemic awareness. It examines both the advantages and challenges of integrating music into educational settings, considering factors like tempo, complexity, and the presence of lyrics. The study also differentiates between active and passive listening strategies, highlighting their respective roles in enhancing listening skills and language acquisition. Theoretical perspectives provide insight into how music can support learning while acknowledging potential cognitive limitations.
